As a recent New York City transplant I was thrilled to visit the new Flatiron Gallery for Restoration Hardware, a brand that hails from the same hometown as myself, Marin County, California. The Flatiron Gallery features the debut of Restoration Hardware’s Artisan Collection. Featuring over seventy- five original pieces, the Artisan Collection draws inspiration from a true vintage aesthetic. Careful details from the hand coating of beeswax on the St. James bed to the reclaimed white oak on the Brickmaker’s table gives each piece an authentic feeling of originality. The Artisan Collection also features distinct pieces individually designed by a variety of international designers. Timothy Oulton of London and Luay Al- Rawi of The Netherlands are two of the visionaries who helped create the unique pieces of the Artisan Collection. My favorite piece in the new collection was the Oviedo leather chaise made from vintage cigar leather. The chaise would be perfect for conjuring up daydreams of home while situated in the corner of my very cramped new surroundings.
